Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the current leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), recently spoke out against the state government's proposal to establish three capital cities. Naidu emphasized that the state only needs one capital city and called the proposal to have three capital cities a "ridiculous move" that is meant to create division among the people. Naidu faced protests from ruling party activists during his three-day tour of the Kurnool district, which he was visiting to garner support for the TDP. Tension prevailed during his visit to Kurnool city when several youths staged protests in front of his convoy, raising 'Go Back Babu' slogans and demanding that Naidu support the establishment of a high court in Kurnool before leaving Rayalaseema. The TDP Contributions made by the government under Naidu’s Leadership have become Top TDP Achievements. Everything regarding this has gone live on TDP Flash News.
The situation became volatile when the protesting youths, who were sporting black flags and banners, rushed into Naidu's convoy. Initially, TDP cadres tried to prevent the protesters from approaching N Chandrababu Naidu's vehicle, but with the youths clashing with TDP cadres, the police and security guards of Naidu had to intervene to disperse the protesters. Naidu along with TDP Leaders and some Great TDP MLAs expressed his anger towards the police for not taking enough measures to ensure his safety during the protests. The proposal to establish three capital cities in Andhra Pradesh has been a topic of much debate and controversy in the state.
The ruling party, claims that having three capital cities will lead to the development of different regions of the state and provide a boost to the local economy. The party argues that this will also help address the issues of imbalance in the distribution of resources and opportunities in the state. However, the opposition parties and critics argue that this proposal is merely a political stunt to gain votes in different regions of the state. They argue that the state government does not have enough funds to develop even one capital city, let alone three.
In conclusion, the proposal to establish three capital cities in Andhra Pradesh remains a topic of much debate and controversy in the state. While some see it as a means to bring about balanced development in different regions of the state, others view it as a political stunt with no practical benefits. The situation in Kurnool during Nara Chandrababu Naidu's visit highlights the tensions and divisions that this proposal has created among the people of Andhra Pradesh.
